* 100 g palm sugar (gula melaka)
* 2 tablespoons water
* 250 ml thick coconut milk

Directions :
1. Wash sago well and soak in water for a few minutes.
2. Strain the sago, bring 800ml water to the boil and add sago.
3. Stir constantly with a whisk until sago turns transparent.
4. Drain and rinse with cold water.
5. Add the sugar and salt and mix well.
6. Spoon into individual serving glasses and chill in the refridgerator.
7. Shave palm sugar into a saucepan and melt over a low heat with 2 tablespoons water.
8. To serve, spoon some of the palm sugar syrup and coconut milk over the chilled sago in layers.

You can served these dessert in different way, like my picture showed that the bottom layer is palm sugar syrup,chin chaw(glass jelly),sago, ice cube,and lastly coconut milk.

Last week , I tried to make some perkedel for dinner. It has been long time that I never make perkedel ( i think more than half a year already).It takes long time to make it,so sometimes very lazy.
Indonesian food's perkedel (Indonesian mini meat patties) is made from potato filled with either beef/chicken/pork meat, hence it is also called potato cakes. Usually served with rice or nasi lemak, vegetable soup, and sambal terasi (chili sauce with dried shrimp paste).

Ingredients :
* 3 pcs shallot, peel off the skin & slice thinly
* 3 yellow potatoes, peel off the skin, slice thinly
* 1 egg,separate the yolk
* 200 g minced meat (ie : chicken/beef/pork)& add bit of carrot + garlic to the minced meat & blend them together
* 1 cup vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon salt
* 1 pinch pepper
* 1 tablespoon Oyster Sos

Directions :
1. Fry sliced shallots until it turns a bit brown, then set aside to cool.
2. Saute sliced potatoes until it turns soft, and then mash them in a bowl.
3. Mix together the mashed potato with fried shallots, salt, pepper,oyster sos minced meat and egg yolk and shape into palm-sized, flat round patties.
4. Heat oil in a frying pan, enough to cover the patties.
5. Dip patty into egg white and then cook the patties (in batches if necessary) over a medium heat for about 5min each side.
6. Ready to be served

What Am I Doin????

Let u all guess what am i doing ??? ^^^^^ think think think...I am trying my best to slot the VCD into daddy's laptop sloter, but apparently, I am not able to do it (dunno how to slot in). Ryan only know how to open the sloter & close it back. Ryan has been learning these method from mommy actually. I used to on CD song for Ryan using these laptop. He will always keep an eye on what I am doing, then he will slowly learn & do it by himself. I better watch out on what I am doing now ***

Skin Allergy

Yesterday morning, my hubby & I brought Ryan to Dr.Law coz his leg has red spots for the past few days. The red spots will only appeared in the morning on his leg & hand. No other symptons was shown up....in order to make us feel safe, we decided to bring him see a doct. We reached there about 9.40am...its very crowded & we have to waited for about half an hour before Ryan name was called.
When I was about to sit down & told doct was is happening,Ryan cried. He always cry when see Dr.Law. According to doct, it is skin allergy & he will give 2 kind of medicine to be eaten & 1 kind of medicine to apply on the red spots. After that, we walked out & before that Ryan will wave 'BYE BYE' to Dr.Law.

In the afternoon after having his lunch, I feed him the medicine. It is the 1st time Ryan is so cooperative taking his medicine. Normally, he will cry and refuse to open his mouth when see me take the medicine for him.GOOD BOY (give Ryan a big kisses)*-*

By night time, all the red spots are gone.I decided to feed him the medicine again & hope tomorrow everything is back to normal.

So this morning when he woke up, the first thing that I did is to check his leg & hand. No more red spots till now.

My Awards

I received this 2 awards from my MP buddies (Queenie,Kristie & Yenping).
Thanks lot for the awards.

I will try my best to update my blog frequently.
